PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION CORRECTION METHOD USING A SIMULATED ANNEALING TECHNIQUE

Particle Size Distribution Correction Method Using a Simulated Annealing Technique

The procedure for obtaining the particle size distribution by visual inspection of a sample involves stereological errors, given the cut of the sample. A cut particle, supposedly spherical, with radius R, will be counted as a circular particle with radius r, r≤R. The difference between r and R depends on how far from the center of the sphere the cut was performed. This introduces errors when th...

Solving Bus Terminal Location Problem Using Simulated Annealing Method

Bus network design is an important problem in public transportation. A main step to this design is determining the number of required terminals and their locations. This is a special type of facility location problem, which is a time-consuming, large scale, combinatorial problem. In a previous attempt by the authors, this problem had been solved by GAMS, based on a branch and bound algorithm.&...

Optimal histogram partitioning using a simulated annealing technique

Brunelli, R., Optimal histogram partitioning using a simulated annealing technique, Pattern Recognition Letters 13 (1992) 58 1-586. A method for histogram partitioning based on the maximization of a criterium function is proposed. The choice of the criterium can be made using a priori information to mimic human performance as far as possible.
